Most men don't answer this question either. I always like it when someone does fill it out because it shows that he is willing to share something about himself. My answer is a quirk that I have that I think is funny. It's an opportunity to show that I can laugh at myself and also get a chance to show a little of my personality.

I like this question. LavenderFields is right, it doesn't have to be a deep dark secret or anything. I put that I can act out Chicago the musical. My guess is the same folks who gripe about the lame response the OP mentioned probably think my response is lame too. They're just looking for something to be negative about.


The best response I've seen so far was:


"The great thing about friendship is that once a connection is made, all of your little quirks become endearing (or at least tolerable) because they know the real you -- whereas a stranger might look at you like you're some sort of freak. In that spirit, let me offer you probably my biggest quirk: I have a strong aversion to chewing gum. Can't stand it. Especially when people chew it with their mouth open. (aye just thinking about it raises the little hairs on the back of my neck!)"
Love it Cherry!!! I have a friend who is a 3 pack a day girl.. and I mean of chewing sugarless gum.. so you see.. this guy and this gal would never click. Imagine the first date impression, the girl chewing gum and blowing a huge bubble, poping it and then saying "hi".. hahahaha.


I do love those Dentyne commercials in the subway...

I find the coy answers to this one a waste of time and somewhat annoying. I don't know why people are offended by it, or chose to say something senseless. I answered by by mentioning a particular talent that I have that most people aren't aware of (sorry ladies - it's just that I play a musical instrument) and a connection with a band.

The question doesn't usually seem to generate many good answers. I don't even think I can remember one that stands out. Mine is that I sometimes eat cereal for dinner. (Which is why I'm drawn to men who COOK.)

I thought it was kind of an interesting question, but you're correct, I haven't a lot of good answers yet. My response is "While i'm probably the best person to pick for your trivial pursuit team, I may not be the one you want to leave in charge of rembering where the car keys are."

There are sooo many bad answers to this I think the question should be removed and replaced with something likie "Do you have children?" because that matters FAR more to me than something his friends know (i.e. "He cheated on his ex, he saw prostitutes in Thailand, he farts constantly...."


We can still only remove matches who have kids living at home, I don't want anyone with kids period.


Another question that could be answered better is "What are you passionate about?" because if I see one more answer saying "Living life to the fullest" I'm gonna scream!

Aw - too bad you're not from Pittsburgh. I'm making chicken parmigiano for dinner with angel hair pasta.

Oh my.. why are people SO HANG up on this question! it asks, about something your best friends know!!! It is not asking 'tell me a SECRET only your best friends know'.


I mean, there are so many things you can put here... where you went on vacation last, your inspirational quote of the year, a new year resolution, a fear/phobia, your favorite color, your favorite dish, a pet peeve.. I mean, the list is endless!! If you are an open book and your boss knows as much about you as your best friends, then.. even a funny JOKE.


It is the one question that set you apart so EASILY because so many people don't asnwer it!! That and the 1st question just because if you cannot grab them from the 'passionate' question.. they probably never get to the end of your profile.


And if you say "they should banish this question" as a response in your profile... I would particularly not initiate, because you are already showing your negativity. Just saying...


Happy work day everybody!!
I'm negative? ok, fair enough.


I like my response...I just wish YOU would explain what you explained to 99.9% of the eharmony women out there....


The guys on the board seems to get it....

Yes - in the grand scheme of things, it is close by. Unfortunately, not so much with respect to dropping by for dinner.
